| dc.description.abstract | The hypothetical relationship between dietary behavior and the development of
atherosclerosis and consequent cardiovascular complications is not well established.
While it is widely said that a large intake of animal fat and particularly of saturated
fats produces hypercholesterolemia and by its influence atherosclerosis, there are a
number of epidemiologic observations which fail to support this relationship (1-4),
If this hypothesis were true it would seem necessary that groups of people, who
for cultural reasons habitually take large amounts of animal fat would have both
hypercholesterolemia and extensive cardiovascular disease. With the intent of examining
this matter we have carried out a survey of the prevalence of cardiovascular
disease and of levels of serum cholesterol among the Masai of Tanganyika. | en_US |
